What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
December 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $19.99. 7 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 11 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including BONEWORKS ($29.99, scores 64) and Hellish Quart ($17.99, scores 47).
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $69.97. It costs $29.99.

Blade and Sorcery scores 97/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/629730/blade-and-sorceryThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
